Super Moist Brownies

Many times, we see pictures of these moist and fudgy looking brownies and it can be hard to sometimes find that recipe that fulfills your idea of a good brownie. This recipe did it for me. It doesn't get any better than this. I hope you enjoy these chocolatey treats as much as me and my friends do.

In the original recipe it asked for 1 1/2 cups of flour but I decided to put only a cup, so that they would be more chewy and moist. Lowering the flour defiantly did the trick, along with the chocolate chips I added in, the changes made them more delicious and very moist.

Ingredients
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray and then line it with parchment paper.

2. Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl. 

3. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Set aside.

4. To the butter,stir in the sugar, vanilla and eggs. Add the dry ingredients and mix until it is just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve warm.

Chocolate Fruit Dip

Greek yogurt sort of seems to be the new hip thing. It is low fat, high in nutrients and also a good source of protein. The only downfall to plain greek yogurt is that I don't personally find the taste to be very appealing. So this is a way to get in the perks of Greek yogurt as well as satisfying your sweet tooth. Pair with some nice chopped fruit and you are good to go!

 On a warm summer's day, I love to snack on this. A healthy twist on fondue. I can just inhale this dip. Sometimes I like to also include apples and bananas. If you wanted to make it even more healthy, you could use fat-free yogurt. I used 2% just because it is important that you still have a healthy amount of the right kinds of fat.

 I don't know if it is because of stress with end of term assignments or just the time of year, but I have been craving chocolate like never before. So now I know what to do to put my chocolate cravings in their place.
